Come to a Salon on 教师 企业家ship

By David Simpson

Kimberly Adams Tufts has long had a brain for business. Growing up, she watched her father run real estate, property leasing and handyman ventures. As a teenager she wrote checks for his expenses and collected rent.

Adams Tufts, a professor of nursing at Old Dominion University, carried those lessons into adulthood. She worked as a representative for multi-level marketing giant Mary Kay. She launched a nurse-managed, community-based health care center in Cleveland.

2月. 26 she and four other ODU faculty members will discuss their experiences with entrepreneurship. This Salon will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Strome 企业家ial Center and is sponsored by the Center for 教师 Development.

The other participants include:

• Janet Brunelle, senior lecturer, computer science, College of Sciences
• Andrew Cohen, lecturer, finance, Strome College of Business
• Lisa Koperna, clinic director/lecturer, physical therapy & athletic training, College of 健康 Sciences
• Alison Reed, assistant professor, English, College of 艺术 & 信

Salons are associated with 17th- and 18th-century France and existed as centers of intellectual exchanges, especially for women. Today the term "salon" refers to forums of open debate, often in the academic arena.

We encourage faculty to come out and participate in the Salon. The goal is to engage in a lively conversation, in this case on entrepreneurship.
